Great Cleanser

I have been using this cleanser as a part of the whole Essano skin care range for about a month now. It is really easy to use you just apply it to wet palms and rub onto your face and then wash it off. It leaves my skin feeling beautifully clean and soft. It's a clear gel which when you work it in it foams up slightly. It is great at getting makeup off (although I use a different product for my eyes) and I am very happy with the results I have been getting from using this cleanser.

Tips: You only need to use a really small amount so the product lasts for ages.

Great gentle cleansing product

I use this product everyday, I love the packaging - it's clean, modern, uncluttered and speaks to the designer in me. I love the scent, it's not fruity or synthetic like some products, it smells fresh and natural. I also love the way it feels on my skin, silky smooth but still cleansing.

In my routine I use the Essano Facial Scrub first to remove stubborn daily grime and then follow that up with a couple of pumps of this product to calm my skin and ensure all the scrub is gone.

Lovin Essano!

I have fairly sensitive skin and have used rosehip oil in the past with success but found it very expensive. This foaming facila cleanser is awesome. Don't need much to get a good clean and it never leaves my skin feeling tight or dry. I love the scent, its sort of sweet but not overpowering, and its really reasonably priced.

Tips: Buy the trial size box at the supermarket, great for travel and for trying out the range.

Gentle and moisturising cleanser

This brand is now at the top of my list for skincare, i love it! so affordable and high quality! There seems to be a lot of us who love this brand, based on the glowing reviews.

I brought an Essano trial kit from Countdown, which included this facial cleanser.

Other products in the trial kit included Rosehip oil, facial moisturiser , night creme and body moisturiser.The little bottles are so very cute, and the trial sizes a perfect size. A great set to also take away travelling for a long weekend!

My skin can be dry, sensitive yet combination in some areas, it changes a lot during the seasons too. My skin tends to react to different products, so this was a great way to try all of these products to see if they were suitable. All of these products were fantastic and caused no irritation to my sensitive skin.

The packaging is great, stylish and looks like a luxury brand yet the price in comparison is so much cheaper than others! . The pump is great, more convenient and hygienic.

The facial cleanser is a lotion-like consistency and feels lovely cleansing the skin and so gentle on your skin. However, it does not do deep cleansing -so you will need a separate eye makeup cleanser to take away eye makeup and mascara. I think this is absolutely fine in my opinion, as its a gentle cleanser that doesn't leave your skin irritated or tight feeling like other cleansers!

The subtle fragrance of rosé is lovely and not overpowering.

Such a lovely product, like the rest of their ranges. All the range is now my holy grail! . I'm so glad i tried Essano out, as its so much more affordable than my clinique and Estée Lauder products.

A great cleanser that I will continue to repurchase!

Essano cleanser

I started with the trial pack and then bought the full size as I liked it. It is a vegan cleanser with some organic ingredients and states it on the bottle. It is meant for all skin types, meaning you don’t have to figure out your skin type. The trial size is now done in a small tube, it used to be a small pump bottle, both options are good for travelling with. The full size is a brown tinted plastic bottle with a dark pink rose coloured label in it.

It is a clear gel and goes on easy. The gel is not runny, it is thicker than a lotion and can hold its shape in your hand. When I first started using it the smell did get to me a little and I didn’t like it. Now I’m not so fussed over the smell but not completely in love with it either.

Depending on what you are using with this depends on the amount of foam. I take 2 pumps from the small trial size bottle or about ½ a pump from the big bottle. By itself with water, it foams well. I have been using a Konjak sponge while it foams it does not foam as much, similar on the occasions where I use a flannel or face cloth. When cleansing it does not feel tight on my skin, this is including when I had mild sunburn on my face. If I haven’t bothered to take off my make up; bb cream, lipstick/gloss remains, powder and bronzer, the cleanser also takes it off. I haven’t tried it on my waterproof mascara yet.

At present this will be my main go to cleanser as it is gentle on my skin and works well with my normal combination type. And I am planning on rebuying once I have run out as it is reasonably priced. It pops up on special about every 2 months or so at Countdown.

Tips: If you are not sure on this brand, get the trial size box as it is less of a commitment and expense than buying the full size bottles.

Gentle does it

At around $14.00 for 140 mls I thought I would give Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser a try. I wear a lot of product on weekdays for work so to do a thorough cleanse I need something pretty hardcore. I used this for the first time but I felt it was just a bit too gentle for what I needed. I do cleanse my face in the shower in the mornings and this is where Essano came into its own. It foamed up nicely and left my face feeling totally cleansed and hydrated and ready for the day ahead.

Okay but not great

Like many others here I bought the pack of miniatures to try out this range of products. I was keen because this cleanser is free of parabens and claims to be made in NZ from organic ingredients. I was impressed enough after using up the sample to buy a full size product and have been using it for about three months now. On the plus side, this is an inexpensive, easily bought product, just pop it in with the weekly shop. It is in a handy pump package which dispenses just the right amount for cleansing the face and neck. I have found it to be lightly fragranced and easy to use. It makes a nice foam which spreads well. It rinses off easily and skin feels nice and clean after use. On the other hand I am finding that my skin feels a bit dry and tight after using this cleanser and I am in a hurry to put on my serum and moisturiser. Eye make up is not totally removed by this product either, but it is a bit much to expect from any cleanser! Previously I had been using a trilogy cream cleanser and changed mostly because of the fabulous expense - I will be going back to that product, but will continue to buy this for my teenaged daughters who are finding this cleanser great for their oilier skin.

Essano Gentle Foaming Cleanser

I got the treat your skin pack on special for $20.00 from Countdown which included cleanser, rosehip oil, moisturiser, body lotion & night cream. Perfect sizes for holiday travel, not to mention you can try these before deciding on the full-size versions. I wet my face first, applied a small amount of cleanser, avoiding my eyes, which are sensitive. I used my Nivea deep cleansing facial kit which comes free from Farmers when you spend $25.00 or more on Nivea products. Its got 2 brush & 2 foam attachments, I used the soft brush attachment to get the cleanser into my skin. Anyway, it left my skin feeling clean & also soft & smooth & I would definitely recommend this cleanser.

Tips: Just use a small amount, mix with warm water & your away!

I love rosehip oil...

...so I had to try this cleanser. It comes with a pump and comes out in a gel form which turns into a creamy-foam with water like most cleansers do, just a bit creamier. It smells amazing, but I can't really describe the scent.

I need at least 2-3 pumps to cleanse my face and I use it twice as I don't feel it would do a very good job of removing my make-up.

It smells delicious though and I really like its consistency and how it doesn't dry out my skin. It's nothing special for me though, so once I used it up I won't be repurchasing this.

essano gentle foaming cleanser

I received two sample size bottles of this from sample bar. I enjoyed how easy it is to use and how you get the right amount of product that is needed to do your face. I have found to me that it smells like bubblegum and I love that smell. I have found that my skin feels amazing after using this cleanser.
